ABOUT CMSD

As San Diego's favorite creative destination for kids and families, the Children's Museum, has served more than 3 million visitors since 1981.

While under construction, the Museum has continued to serve the public through its community arts outreach initiative, known as the Museum Without Walls. This program has brought learning through the arts to events, festivals, fairs, schools and libraries, reaching over one million people since 2002.

Offering an assortment of dynamic, arts-based education programs and exhibits that cultivate creativity, originality and individuality, the Museum seeks to uncover hidden talents, raise new questions, and encourage creative thinking. Frequented by elementary schools and family visitors, the Museum is designed to engage all ages — including toddlers, teens, parents and grandparents.

As a cultural and educational institution with a multi-national audience, the Museum is dedicated to integrating the unique character of our community with its extraordinary ethnic diversity, uncommon geographic border, emerging urban culture, innovative technologies and rich artistic resources. These multi-cultural activities celebrate diverse worldwide communities through hands-on art projects, storytelling, music, visual and performing arts. Employing styles, techniques, cuisine and cultural histories from around the world, the Museum strives to strengthen multi-cultural understanding and respect, and to build community through the language of art.
